Product overview

Functionality

The Tensormeter is designed for automated precision measurements of resistances and voltages. It unites the benefits of Lock-in Amplifiers and Source/Measure Units through an innovative flexible architecture based on an integrated matrix switch. Tensormeter RTM1 enables the automated recording of the complete Resistivity Tensor (Rx, Ry, RH) with one single device, even on unpattern thin films. With excellent AC and DC performance, it covers the range from Nano-Ohm to Giga-Ohms with at least 8 digits of dynamic range.

Tensormeter is designed for automated precision measurements of resistance and voltages.

It unites the benefits of both Lock-in Amplifiers and Source/Measure Units through an innovative flexible architecture.

Tensormeter can be used for thin film characterization, wafer and device testing as well as materials research.

Benefits

Replaces all standard devices for electrical characterization measurements (e.g. Lock-in Amplifier, SMU, DMM).
Overcomes the limitations of stationary 4-point measurements by an integrated Matrix Switch.
Offers presets for van-der-Pauw and Resistance Tensor measurements and allows for full user configurability.
Makes complex sample preparation unnecessary (e.g. lithographic structuring).
Allows for easy connectivity to many different measurement setups (e.g. probe stations, cryostats, vacuum systems).
Saves measuring time and enhances sample throughput.

Features

Reconfigurable device architecture based on an integrated switching matrix
8 user-defined channels (BNC connectors), whose function (input or output) can be freely determined
Conventional AC and DC 4-wire measurements with fixed connections (Kelvin/ Hall geometry)
AC and DC measurements with alternating connections (van-der-Pauw geometry) with one device
Simultaneous measurement of exactly separated absolute values for longitudinal and transverse resistances without lithographic patterning
Software presets for common measurement modes, but any user-specific switching sequences can be specified
TCP-based communication, easy integration in any environment (e.g. Labview, C, Python)
